Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Bai Lu's confusion was finally resolved.

Cheng Xiao only introduced Bai Lu to the fallen deity [Reproduction].

"A breeding swarm...?"

Bai Lu murmured softly, seemingly harboring a strange curiosity about it.

Cheng Xiao had no doubts and simply thought that Bai Lu was innocent, diligent and inquisitive.

Soon all kinds of questions could be answered at the Jade Palace.

After all, the Jade Palace Immortal Ship is a treasure trove of knowledge within the alliance, containing countless books.

Of course, for Bailu, this place is hell!

Why isn't Third Aunt (Kunling) replying to our messages?

Bai Lu held the jade tablet with a puzzled expression.

"It must be your third aunt dozing off again."

"Sigh, why is Third Aunt always sleeping?"

"That's because she carries the alliance's largest think tank and needs to minimize unnecessary thinking."

The figure of Cheng Xiao tells a story, recounting the disaster that once befell the Jade Palace: the calamity caused by the evil star and the display of power by the five clouds.

Bai Lu listened quietly, resting her chin on her hand, filled with curiosity about the heroic deeds of her elders.

The journey to the Jade Palace takes about two days, and the time passes quietly while telling stories to Bailu.

When they landed safely and arrived at the Jade Palace, they were greeted not by the people sent by Chiming, but by Chengxiao's old acquaintance, Jingtian.

The Jade Palace is the contemporary Grand Diviner.

"Oh dear! I, the diviner, knew with a quick calculation that a distinguished guest would be arriving today."

Cheng Xiao bowed slightly and said, "Taoist Diviner Jingtian is joking. I am not a distinguished guest at all. I am just an ordinary person who came here for sightseeing."

"Hahaha, if you're not a distinguished guest, then what's the difference between other outsiders and insects? And you're being so modest."

"This must be your daughter, Bailu. She's truly a beautiful and adorable girl!"

Bai Lu bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Grand Diviner!"

"Oh my! You have such a sweet tongue! Here, this is a gift for us."

Jing Tian took out a jade pendant from his sleeve; it was a high-quality Nourishing Heart Jade.

"Thank you, Master Taibu~"

Bai Lu behaved like an extremely well-behaved and sensible little girl, which made Cheng Xiao a little uncomfortable.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Jingtian led the two towards the Imperial Apostles' Office.

"I knew you were coming. Kunling Dragon Lord is currently repairing books at the Grand Divination Office, so I came to pick you up on her behalf."

Cheng Xiao asked with some confusion, "Repairing books? Why is that?"

"Alas, since the calamity of the demon star, although Jade Palace has not suffered major losses, a considerable amount of think tank data has been destroyed, and even backups cannot be recovered."

"Many divination methods and books have been lost, and we can only ask Kunling Dragon Lord to repair them one by one."

Jingtian took out a scroll with a radius of about 5 centimeters.

"There are so many lost books, I don't know when we'll be able to find them all."

Cheng Xiao and his daughter arrived at the Taibu Si (Imperial Divination Office) after listening to Jing Tian's complaints.

At the center of the Taibu Si, a massive Cloud-Gazing Mirror stands tall, and Kunling is manipulating the Cloud-Gazing Mirror with magic, streams of information flowing around her and then replenishing the electronic think tank.

"Third Mom! You're so cool!"

Bai Lu ran towards Kun Ling with delight. At this moment, Kun Ling was clear-headed and had sharp eyes, a sight Bai Lu had never seen before.

Upon seeing the arrival of White Dew, Kunling revealed a polite smile.

"So it's Xiaobailu. You've finally arrived at the Jade Palace. After I'm done with my work, I'll take you back to our clan to enjoy some delicious food."

"Yay!"

Kunling suppressed her smile and looked up to see Cheng Xiao.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and then all the sharpness and fierceness disappeared, leaving only a soft and simple charm.

"Hehehe~ It's Cheng Xiao here~"

Bai Lu exclaimed in shock: "How did Third Aunt suddenly become such a fool?!"

Jing Tian was also greatly alarmed: "Cheng Xiao, you should step aside first! With you here, Kunling Dragon Lord has given up on thinking!"

Cheng Xiao: "..."

But it was too late. Kunling, who had just been skillfully wielding the Cloud-Gazing Mirror, was now completely dazed, muttering only, "Chengxiao~ Fanfan~".

Oh no, did seeing Cheng Xiao make them give up thinking?

After all, constantly running your brain at a high intensity is really tiring.

The world is in chaos! The book repair work can't be abandoned halfway!

It's important to understand that when it comes to books, tattered copies are far more harmful than lost ones. Losing a book is at most a pity, but tattered copies can mislead and mislead young people!

Cheng Xiao shook his head; it was still up to him to take action.

Slowly approaching Kunling, the golden-haired, large-breasted dragon girl opened her arms, her soft face and slightly narrowed eyes making her look like she wanted a hug.

Cheng Xiao didn't hug her. He used the [horse] to dispel the fatigue from using his brain for so long, and then spoke:

"Kunling, finish your work for today first, then I'll go back to our village and prepare your favorite dinner, okay?"

Kunling, who had always appeared harmless, suddenly became serious, and her eyes instantly regained their sharpness, even more so than before.

"I understand. It seems we need to speed things up."

Then, with swift and decisive action, the Cloud-Viewing Mirror was put back into operation, leaving everyone stunned.

He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and say:

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant."

Cheng Xiao didn't care about the compliments, but just sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. What kind of mess had he made?

Everything returned to normal, so Cheng Xiao had no choice but to leave with Bai Lu.

As for Bailu's academic plans, we'll talk about that tomorrow.

......

However, accidents always follow, and even Cheng Xiao could not control his fate.

Jingtian arranged Bailu's study plan the very next day.

"I think Bailu must have learned quite a bit about the Wisdom Clan in Fanghu, right? If we continue to let her study in the Wisdom Clan's territory in Yuque, she won't be exposed to any new things."

Then Jingtian produced an admission notice.

"This is the admission certificate for the Bianzhi Academy, allowing Bailu to study there for three months. Maybe she'll want to be a student there someday."

After Cheng Xiao took it and browsed through it for a while, he found that Bai Lu's personal information had already been prepared.

"The Academy of Universal Wisdom isn't a place just any cat or dog can enter. It's an academy that has engaged in numerous academic exchanges with the Society of Broad Knowledge; it's the intellectual flagship of our Immortal Ship. Are you sure Bai Lu can adapt to it?"

"To be clear, Bailu inherited some of her traits from Baiheng." (Baiheng: What does that mean?)

Jingtian waved his hand dismissively.

"Cheng Xiao, I have to say something to you about this. Don't underestimate your child's potential. Besides, it's just that Bai Lu is studying some of the 'Universal Mirror' at the academy, it won't hurt."

"Alright, then we'll follow the diviner's arrangements, White Dew!"

Bai Lu, who was called out, immediately composed herself and stood at attention.

"We're here!"

"Starting today, it's time to go to school!"

"Waaah... Father, are you going to sell us? Father, are you going to abandon us in this academy? Father~ we were wrong, please don't abandon us, we promise to be good from now on."

Bai Lu's soft, coquettish voice was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of passersby, who couldn't bear to hear it.

Cheng Xiao's face darkened, and he delivered a two-finger punch to her dragon head.

"Stop pretending to be crazy with your father!"
